The fruiting bodies of this Shiitake are equally medium sized. It can also be cultivated on straw but on that substrate the harvest yield is smaller in comparison with cultivation on wood substrates. Regarding the fruiting temperatures this Strain is also versatile regarding the temperatures, it fruits in a range between 10 to 24 °C, but you may consider that at lower temperatures the ripening of the fruit bodies may take some days longer.
